One of the five versions of the MD80 was the MD87, which was made 17 ft 5 in (or 5.28 m) shorter than the other MD80s. The type proved to be unpopular, with only 75 examples built from 1986 until 1992, with most of the operators based in Europe. The U.S. itself remained largely untouched for MD87 orders and operators. Have you ever wondered why was the type made shorter and why did it became a failure? You may find your answers in this video!

Turn up your volume to at least 90% because I don't have a mic so my voice will be a little silent. Also subtitles are only available in American English and Indonesian.
